It sounds counterproductive, but definitely keep eating. I had to deal with nausea A LOT with my IBS, and believe it or not, an empty stomach makes the nausea worse. If all you feel you can stomach is crackers or toast, just eat that - but do keep nibbling, it's better than nothing at all.
Also, I've found that ginger tea is MUCH better for nausea than peppermint. Ginger in general is excellent for nausea, so even if you don't go with the tea, sucking on ginger Altoids might even make you feel better.
I definitely know that "can't tell if I'm hungry or sick" feeling all too well. Hope you feel better soon!
